Ryan Reynolds - handsome guy successful thanks to mutant Deadpool

It wasn't until "Deadpool" that the handsome actor actually had a project under his name that was a commercial success, despite being famous for nearly a decade.

In its first week in theaters, the action movie Deadpool grossed $260 million, making it the highest-grossing February release in history. The numbers are even more impressive considering that the movie was restricted to audiences under 17.

Make a mark with your appearance

Ryan Reynolds' two biggest hits before Deadpool were X-Men Origins: Wolverine ($373 million) and The Proposal ($317 million). In both of those films, Ryan Reynolds was not the central character and was behind his co-stars Hugh Jackman and Sandra Bullock, respectively.

Since Reynolds first became known to audiences outside Canada with his leading role in the comedy Van Wilder: Party Liaison (2002), the actor has participated in nearly three projects but has never been considered a real movie star. Opportunities have come his way, and Forbes magazine once asserted: "Hollywood has tried to turn this guy into the next Tom Cruise."

Ryan Reynolds' body.

Ryan Reynolds has the perfect appearance for a star - 1.88 m tall, muscular body and handsome face. In the list of the most beautiful people on the planet, the name Ryan Reynolds is rarely absent. In 2010, he was also voted "Sexiest Man Alive" by People magazine. He showed his sense of humor when receiving the honor by answering: "Now my wife will have to say: 'Hey, sexiest man on the planet, go take out the trash'. This sounds great."

In addition to his looks, fans also remember this actor's talent as a "womanizer". After ending his relationship with singer Alanis Morissette in 2007, Reynolds dated "sex bomb" Scarlett Johansson and got married a year later. This hot couple "went their separate ways" in 2011, but it didn't take Reynolds long to find new happiness. In 2012, he got married for the second time to Blake Lively - another Hollywood beauty. To this day, the couple still live happily together with their one-year-old daughter - James Reynolds.

While his love life has been flourishing, Reynolds' career has yet to show any signs of him becoming the next Tom Cruise. The actor has proven himself to be a natural for romantic films like Definitely, Maybe and The Proposal, and has shown his acting chops in Buried, Safe House and Mississippi Grind. He's also been willing to play brief supporting roles that bring laughter in Ted and A Million Ways to Die in the West.

Ryan Reynolds' two wives - Scarlett Johansson (left) and Blake Lively - are both among the most stunning beauties in Hollywood.

But even with big projects that were expected and invested in like RIPD or especially Green Lantern, Ryan Reynolds still did not have a breakthrough. The only positive thing that came from Green Lantern for Ryan Reynolds was probably that he met his wife Blake Lively.

Revenues of more than $200 million were not enough to offset the production and promotion costs incurred by the producers of Green Lantern.bout. In terms of content,The film even made it onto the list of worst superhero movies of all time with a disastrous 26% score on Rotten Tomatoes. Ryan Reynolds openly admitted to disagreeing with director Martin Campbell and even said he felt “relieved that the failure of the film meant I never had to play the character of Hal Jordan again.”

Deadpool on the rise

After a few unimpressive superhero roles, Ryan Reynolds has found success with his anti-hero role. Deadpool is a character known for his quick mouth, foul language, and wild personality. Ryan Reynolds is a comic book fan and has expressed his desire to play this famous character since 2005. In 2009, he had the opportunity to play Deadpool in X-Men Origins: Wolverine and received positive feedback from the audience. However, the screen time of the aforementioned mercenary was too short and fans have yet to see a Deadpool that is as "real" as the comic book version.

With X-Men: Days of Future Past (2014) pressing the “Reset” button on previous events in the series, the character Deadpool has the opportunity to return with a completely new start and is no longer involved in the X-Men Origins: Wolverine storyline. In the 2016 version of Deadpool, Reynolds plays former special agent Wade Wilson/Deadpool. After being diagnosed with cancer, Wilson agrees to participate in an experiment to save his life and stay with the girl he loves. However, the results of the experiment turn Wilson into a completely different person with special superpowers...

Ryan Reynolds is a magnet for audiences as Deadpool. The film has a relatively simple plot but brings viewers moments of comfortable entertainment through the mercenary's non-stop mouth. The silly, humorous style that Ryan Reynolds shows on screen is considered by many to be similar to what they expect from a Deadpool film.

After a successful first weekend in theaters, producers are already planning a sequel to Deadpool. Ryan Reynolds may never become the “new Tom Cruise,” but in the modern world of cinema, having your own character and franchise is gold.
